Note: Any references to the last starfighter I will brush it off. I know what is about so lets keep this away from it

In today's gaming era, military games are a general favorite among teenagers, adults and the like. Mainly cashing from 9/11 and war in iraq. We have been trying to make some War on Terror game where fears of america coming under attack coming true. However, we have only begun to use VG as a recruiting tool and it is met with little sucess. But here is an idea. What if the army work with some high tech video game company to make a virtual simulator to measure a person's stamina, strengh and endurance? It can see who is fit for being the "ideal soldier" and take them in for training. However a point against this is the UN dont want to see children being our next terminator or commando. What is your opinion on trying to use video games to find the ideal soldiers?

I don't see the argument against it...

...The UN doesn't want supersoldiers? This seems like just another future military standard on all new recruits.

what is the big issue is that the charter I think is trying to prevent children from taking up arms. This will get an huge uproar from the human rights activists.

It isn't really arms, is it?

It's all virtual, not really real. Therefore there is no reality in it, just the perception of reality.

Kinda like the ultimate videogame. Hell, I'd buy a videogame like that should it get into the consumer's market.

I'm sure in a lab somewhere, the U.S. government has made a DNA strand of the perfect soldier (good physique, sharp mind, doesn't need food, just plug them in to charge, unhumanly fast reflexes) and is now making 17,390,900 clones of these "people" to support Bush's various perpetual wars he has yet to start.

But they escape!

And now they lead a life on the run, hunted by the government at every turn, with little acceptance among human society...

I loved the Dark Angel series :(

But no... FOX has to cancel it for fucking 24...

And just before Bush assumes the title of Emperor, he sends his apprentice Darth Rice at the head of the 501st Legion into the Democratic Party Temple and wipes out all the Democrats, including the Younglings too!:eek:

:D

Luckily, Bubba-Wan Clintobi escapes to Tatooine, Arkansas (very hard to find, i assure you).

But the military doesn't just want people who would make the "ideal soldier;" they want anyone who will sign up...

Here is the main reason that the US Military should not try to get gamers in to the military.



*In battle, gunfire and explosions everywhere. Then, out of the blue, a US soldier screams...*

"BOOM! HEADSHOT!"

*Another responds...*

"OMG PWNT!"

*Suddenly, the one who got the headshot gets shot in the shoulder, and falls to the ground, harmed, but not dead. He screams*

"AAAHH!!! WALLHAXX!!!!"

*Do you need further explanation?*

Ah, but will he raise Jenna Bush (her twin Barbara taken by Master Yoda Kennedy to hide in Dagobah, Mass.) to follow the path of the Democrat, or will she fall to the Republican Side?

I'm more interested in the adventures of How Deano, captain of the Preliminary Falcon. And let's stick Michael Moore inside a painted trash can for good measure.

Yeah but the problem is SOME IDIOTS out there dont know the diffrence between videogames and reality.

I believe you are speaking of Mika the Hut, no?

I dunno, but I just drew a beautiful mental image of Howard Dean shooting out the TIE fighters and screaming "Yeehaaaw!" so that Jenna can blow up Republican Party HQ.

No no, it'll be the new SuperCarrier HIMS George H. W. Bush, which destroyed the peaceful Rebel haven of Franceaan in a single blast!

Hmm, this topic sounds like Halo. You know, the SPARTAN Project? If this were to be testing to see if someone could be the ideal soldier, it would have to be someone who has absolutely no problems with killing, can do it without thinking twice or hesitating, and will be able to take out specific targets without causing too much harm to non-combatants. (ie: civilians) Hmm, that seems to describe me almost perfectly. I can kill without thinking twice, hesitating, or caring. Anyone else like that here?

Wow, just like in Star Wars!

It's called America's Army.

Is that the sector with internobots?

Ender's Game, anyone?

Wow, just like in Star Wars!
I know, I think Lucas can predict the future! :D :D :D
